26 before 27 – Update

When I made my 26 before 27 I thought it would be nice if I posted some frequent updates. In past years I always felt I didn’t wrote enough posts about it during the year and I had almost nothing to look back at when my birthday came round. So by writing these updates I’ll keep myself motivated (because progress would be easier to track) and you guys would stay in the loop about it.

Make some 365 – Create/Make something new everyday, for 365 days in a row.

I’m really having a hard time with this one. Last year I did a 365 days of drawing project, which was a lot easier, because I knew everyday I needed to make one sketch. Now I spent too much time wandering what I should make, which techniques I should use, trying not to be repetitive. And then failing to make something in time of course.

Go through the 100 Things Challenge

I’ve already started my 100 things challenge, but I’m not nearly close to finishing it. I’ve put a lot of stuff in boxes, but I still need to bring them to the second hand shop

Discover some cool new café’s and resto’s in Ghent

I went to the Acht Zaligheden (which was quite expensive, not something I will do every month). They have a nice Art Nouveau themed style. The food was very tasty, but my meat was a litle bit too cold when they served it. I do want to go back sometime, I believe in second chances. 😉 The Boy ate a pasta vongole and he absolutely loved it. I also went to Lucy Chan, which is apparently an Asian food chain. I really liked my Cocos Chicken Cury and best of all, it was cheap!

Going away for a weekend

By my next 26 before 27 update I’ll be able to stripe this one of the list! We’ve booked ourselves a weekend in the Veluwe and I’m looking forward to long walks and being surrounded by nature.

Create my dream wardrobe

I already wrote this post about how I wanted to find my own style by making styleboards once in a while. I also cleaned out my closet. I put a whole bunch of clothes in the “away” pile (helping me to get to my 100 things) and I put a lot of other items in a suitecase. I’m planning to open that suitecase in one year and if I fit in them again they can stay, otherwise I’m going to bring them to a second hand store.
